I'm a 22 year old housewife/small business owner and mommy of 2 dogs. :) One is named Brutus. He's a Pitbull/Boxer mix. His "little brother" is Sparta. He is a Corgi mix, but I can't figure out for sure what mix he is. (He's a rescue dog, and the shelter didn't have a lot of information on him....just his age.)
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
As I said in my, "about me" I have 2 dogs, but only 1 that applies to this site. His name is Sparta. He's a Corgi mix, but I can't figure out for sure what mix he is. (He's a rescue dog, and the shelter didn't have a lot of information on him....just his age.)I'm thinking either Corgi/yellow lab, or Corgi/beagle. I am thinking these not just because of what he looks like, but also because of what his brothers and sisters looked like, and because of information/pictures I have looked up on both mixes.
Lisa, I understand about your worrying about his weight. He does look thin but his legs are long and you did indicate that he gets thin looking after each growth spurt. He is so cute, I can really see the corgi and his ears want to stand up but I don't think they will. I had an Elkhound/spaniel mix and her ears tried hard with with bottom half sorta straight. But the top never got up. Back to the weight. I like to give my dogs boiled eggs since they are so good nutritionally. Don't give him much carbohydrates as that just fattens them with out building muscle and strength. You can give him vegetables and some chicken. I even let mine have some apple and banana because I eat those in the morning and they stand around waiting. I will see if I can find a recipe for some home made treats that I need to fix for my dogs. It involves eggs, honey, peanut butter, whole wheat flow and some wheat germ. You roll it thin and bake at about 400 and then let them dry to firm them some but I don't remember the exact amounts but I could make some and guess if you are interested. I have buying a bunch of stuff and I think it often has components from China and I doubt the value.

Welcome Lisa and Sparta! If you post some pictures we could take some guesses as to what he's mixed with
